Imagine a device that can revolutionize how musicians practice and perform. Wearables for musicians aim to do just that. These smart gadgets can provide real-time feedback on a musician's performance, track practice patterns, and even suggest techniques for improvement.

This business idea involves using technology to create wearables equipped with sensors that capture various aspects of musical play—from tempo and rhythm to finger movement and posture. Musicians, both amateurs and professionals, could benefit from this innovation, making practice sessions more efficient and insightful.

The development of such a product requires collaboration between tech experts and musicians, extensive testing, and user-friendly design. If you have a passion for music and technology, this concept provides a unique opportunity to bridge these fields and create something truly beneficial for the music community.

In this list, you'll find real-world wearable for musicians success stories and very profitable examples of starting a wearable for musicians that makes money.

1. Soundbrenner ($3.36M/year)

Florian Simmendinger came up with the idea for Soundbrenner while in Berlin, after meeting other entrepreneurs and realizing there was no reason to wait to start his own business. He teamed up with co-founder Julian Vogels and developed the concept of a vibrating metronome, which eventually led to the creation of their first product, Pulse, a smart wearable device. After successfully launching on Indiegogo and raising $1.6M, Soundbrenner has sold close to 100,000 wearables and become a popular choice among musicians, with their mobile app boasting over 6 million downloads and 600,000 monthly users.
